Ok I can riff on these Dog Science shenanigans!
Little Synergies #3
“Are you Picking Up what I’m Putting Down?”
Starting Posse:
Janosz Pratt (Janosz Pratt · DoomtownDB)
Dr. JT Goodenough (Dr. JT Goodenough · DoomtownDB)
Grift:
Yagn’s Mechanical Skeleton (Yagn's Mechanical Skeleton · DoomtownDB)
Hydro-Puncher (Hydro-Puncher · DoomtownDB)
Combo:
John “Aces” Radcliffe (John "Aces" Radcliffe (Exp.1) · DoomtownDB)
Concept:
To ease pressure that Structure can exert over Card Choice when Deck-buildin’.
Unlike the Entrepreneurs, sometimes Lawdogs can struggle calibrating their Pull Structure to support the Gadgets they want to play because they tend towards lower Skill Ratings and some of the awesome Gadgets have higher Difficulty. This setup allows you to run as low as 4’s as a Deck Value without having to worry about Yagn’s turning into a “dead card” later. Either your opponent chooses it when JT grifts, or Radcliffe picks it up later when you play him, both circumventing having to succeed at a Pull.
Final Note: You can replace Yagn’s with any other High-Difficulty Gadget normally “out of range” of your Pull Structure and the Concept will hold. Similarly, you can replace the Puncher with any other Gadget that Janosz (or your other Mad Scientists) can consistently Pull to fulfill the grifting requirements!
